getting ready to lay down some paint on my 52 need some info

going to paint my 52 with satin paint has any body ever used Hot Rod Flatz paint? good or bad? other ideas? color suggestions?

I used that paint just last month on my 51' half ton.
I had a tough time getting the color to lay down with the desired finish. I bought the black and the speed green colors. The speed green had too much shine for me (looked like JD Green) so I added a flattening agent that I picked up at a local paint supply house. After the re-spray, the green turned out the way I wanted it to. I liked that the black has a satin look.

I have used hot rod flatz and works well. Sprays out and lays out nice. Still have enough blue to do 2 trucks!

For what it's worth I used Vansicle implement paint
it comes in several colors satin,flat and gloss sprays really easy and super easy to blend if you get a scratch etc. the cost is $25.00 a gallon you will need to use there reducer and hardener. it also does not fade in the sun.
here is a pic of a F&^d i did about 4 yrs ago
